two WWE releases

Scotty "Colt Cabana" Goldman and Freddie Prinze, Jr. have left World Wrestling Entertainment. Goldman was released, while Prinze's departure is said to be mutual.

Prinze had been working for the SmackDown creative team since July. He is said to have been responsible for the Jeff Hardy tweener character. Goldman had recently been reduced to an online-exclusive web show, which had previously helped The In Crowd gain popularity. Internally, Prinze's departure from the company is not being seen as much of a surprise. He had attended very few television tapings in recent weeks. He was said to be well-liked by the wrestlers since he is legitimately a fan of the wrestling industry. However, the novelty of being a WWE writer is said to have worn out quickly for Prinze.

Goldman is expected to return to the indy circuit as Colt Cabana, while Prinze will likely re-join Hollywood.

About Me

I've been a writer for nine years and a wrestling fan for over two decades. I previously wrote a wrestling column for the Web site 411mania.com. I auditioned for WrestleCrap.com as well, but was ultimately rejected. You know, when you aren't considered good enough for a site with "crap" in the title, it's probably time to hang up your pen. My limited experience in the actual wrestling business includes advertising for the Buffalo Wrestling Federation, and an attempt to promote my own wrestling show. I'll be posting more information about all of this in my blog in the coming weeks, so I hope you'll all come back to read about it.
